Gibtec is pretty popular among the mod crowd...perhaps give them a try? Gibtec Pistons | Custom Pistons

Good to know...I have a 360 roller cam sitting in the box I want to have reground by Oregon (if they still do that) and slide it into a roller 318 block for my wife's '65 Dart. I know it will require some longer pushrods due to the reduced base circle, but that's easy enough...

^^^ THIS STUFF RIGHT HERE... ARP has been rolling out high strength hardware for decades. This issue is known to anyone with a SBM using their stud kit and a stock style oiling system. I've experienced it first hand, and I suspect the lion's share of folks just go with swapping out offending...

The disagree stamp was yesterday at 255...

@jmwuva05 disagree all you want, people have done it...case in point in link below dual plane divider as to whether or not it helps, I believe the alleged reason is to alleviate potential mixture distribution problems, but I've never experienced that...

They were 2.19" but also different angle and canted...the valves in Boss 302s, Clevelands, Modifieds and 385 series engines all open toward the center of the bore...more like a pent roof chamber than a wedge... EDIT: The small engines also do struggle with low RPM power, but it's more about the...

I wish all they were was from bolt storage or marks from a prybar...I need to take a couple pics of them. The marks are only at the top of the bore, where you'd normally get carbon buildup above the rings. The engine had a ridge, but I honestly figured it would clean up at 030...till the...

bringing back a thread... but the answer is yes, I recently picked up a 65 Dart and it came with a '77 model 318. When I moved the block to drop it off at the machinist, I noticed the IH casting identifier...kinda sad though, I couldn't use it at 030 overbore...would probably clean up at 060...

I bet that would have a nice little chop to it

You’re absolutely correct-again I assumed a little much; good thing FABO has a shipload of experienced folks more than willing to walk one through the process in addition to the how to articles.

Dunno if they're still there, but can't hurt to look... [FOR SALE] - New Rear Leaf Spring for an A-Body

well, I'll tell ya this much...take a look at how cheap it is to build any of the ones you mentioned...as long as the specimen isn't a clapped out POS, it doesn't take a whole helluva lot to make them formidable track vehicles. For as much hate as I've received being a Mustang guy first (look...

I never really paid enough attention to that detail to make that connection.

Oo-this is gonna be fun... But I do have to laugh at this...people still rocking Foxes and F bodies in your area?

Yup

No argument there; I think it's more meant to give those who have legitimately no knowledge about the particular subject a basis for understanding how cam timing events can affect an engines behavior...

Well, would you look at that?? [FOR SALE] - Rare Edelbrock ld4d Intake

...neat article... http://www.championbrands.com/EP012008_34-40.pdf

Me either, man...I guess we should probably wait till the OP gets off work and actually has the chance to put his thoughts out on the keyboard

You are correct...I inferred...

I think there's a set of SS springs in the classifieds...

That's why I asked...he mentioned having an 8 3/4 available...something about a bird in the hand being worth two in the bush.

My question was more rhetorical than anything--I KNOW how to relocate them--I wanted to know why Wyrmrider thought it was worthy of a good luck statement.

Air gap IS a dual plane...

Oooo-good question +1 for solid flat tappet cam-if you have some adjustable rockers...

Just curious here, but how is relocating spring perches that big of a deal? If he has a good axle assembly, just swapping them on one side at a time shouldn't be super difficult, no?

I'm at work too...thankfully a little slow tonite...

SSG Karg already put a general guideline up for the engine itself, without going too far in the weeds... that would assume though you have the option of putting in new pistons and put them up close to the deck to regain some lost compression. Slapping 340/360 heads on a stock 318 is a sure...

But you’re sticking with a 3 speed stick, right?

...still curious for some more details about the car... If we're talkin about retrofitting an el strippo slant/3speed manual/7 1/4 car with 4 wheel manual drums and 60 years of neglect or indifference to be a DD with, lets say a dozen trips up the 1320 per year, that's gonna occupy some time...
